The two diastereomers of 4-nitro-1,3-diphenylpentan-1-one behave differently in deuterium for hydrogen exchange in DMSO-d(6)/D2O solutions using various bases as catalyst. Reaction of the erythro diastereomer gives largely the same diastereomer upon D/H exchange (retention), i.e., exchange exceeds epimerization. Pyridine and acetonitrile as solvents lead to faster epimerization than exchange. In the three diastereomer(DMSO-d(6) solution), epimerization exceeds exchange, and the anion to some extent regains the same hydrogen originally removed by the base on the opposite face. 2-Bromo-4-nitro-1,3-diphenylbutan-1-one undergoes ring closure to the cyclopropane faster than exchange (within seconds). The cyclopropane shows faster exchange than equilibration, i.e., retention of configuration, although it is the hydrogen alpha to carbonyl that is involved.

A general enantioselective synthesis of functionalized nitrocyclopropanes by organocatalytic conjugateaddition of a variety of bromonitroalkanes to α,β‐unsaturated enone systems is presented. The process, efficiently catalyzed by the salts of 9‐amino‐9‐deoxyepiquinine 1 d serves as a powerful approach to the preparation of synthetically and biologically important cyclopropanes with high levels of

Carbanions containing leaving groups react in the presence of base with electrophilicalkenes giving products in which vinylic hydrogen is replaced with the carbanion moiety. They are formed via addition - β-elimination pathway analogous to the vicarious nucleophilicsubstitution in nitroarenes. In some cases, however, the cyclization - ring opening process takes place instead.
